Many times, properties listed within Amex Travel will differ in pricing when compared to booking directly with the hotel. Sometimes these variations are somewhat minimal, but at times, pricing can vary widely. You should consider whether the perks you'd enjoy through FHR are worth the per-day price differential.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Bottom_Line\">Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts is a great way to get added value from your ultra luxury travel credit card. Many of the properties bookable through FHR don't have loyalty programs for added perks. But when you book an FHR property through Amex Travel, you get elite status-like perks tacked onto your stay without any effort or loyalty required. And you may even find that some of the hotels are rather affordable every now and then. When combined with your Platinum Card<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>&#8216;s $600 hotel credit, you may end up paying little to nothing for that stay.<\/p>\n<p>For those who already have one of American Express' premium cards, it wouldn't make sense to let this one benefit go to waste when it can help you take the sting off your annual fee. For those considering applying for one of these cards, FHR benefits through Amex Travel may help determine whether this potential new card is right for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back before every credit card issuer had a hotel program, there was the Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts program.
